Lucknow, Apr 13: Muslims in Uttar Pradesh are now worried that the intense communal profiling of the Corona patients by the official agencies could lead to lynching incidents once the lockdown is lifted.
Muslim scholar and former SP spokesman, Abdul Hafiz Gandhi, on Monday said, "The manner in which the government agencies are identifying persons belonging to Tablighi Jamaat in the list of Covid-19 patients is now translating into intense communal profiling which has been prohibited by the World Health Organization and the central government. A very small percentage of Muslims subscribe to the Tablighi Jamaat ideology but the impression going around is that the Muslim community, in general, is spreading coronavirus."
He said that there was a strong possibility of Muslims, in general, being attacked after the lockdown is lifted.
"This is exactly what happened on the cow slaughter issue. Even a small rumour led to people being lynched by mobs across the country. Corona is a pandemic and should be treated like one. We should fight against the virus together instead of creating a communal divide. Every day, the government spokesman lays down the number of Corona positive cases and then goes on to say how many of them are from Tablighi Jamaat," he explained.
Amir Haider, a social activist and also a veteran Congress leader, echoed similar sentiments when he said, "We strongly condemn the Tablighi Jamaat for ignoring the protocols and holding the congregation but why is the state government repeatedly harping on the religious angle. Shia and Sunni clerics are repeatedly asking the people to adhere to government guidelines and follow safety protocols.
He said that efforts to create a communal divide on the corona issue could have dangerous ramification after the lockdown is lifted."
A retired IAS officer, who did not wish to be named, said, that people have already started objecting to taking home deliveries from Muslim employees.
"My neighbours refused to take delivery of groceries from a Muslim boy. This is just the beginning of the narrative that is being drilled into the minds. We must check this before it explodes into something very dangerous," he said.

If hindus start eating beef based on this, then price will increase 2-3 times more than today's rate....very bad....
Chaddis eating beef sukka as well.
Dear YOGESH...
Please carefully read the below verse from BG and ponder on it. Also REFLECT on y BG mentioned this here.
Bhagavad Gita 7:20
Those whose INTELLIGENCE has been stolen by MATERIAL DESIRES surrender onto Demigods (Besides TRUE GOD) and follow the particular rules and regulations of WORSHIP according to their own natures...
I think U should not worship the idols and statues instead worship the TRUE GOD who is formless (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). This is the TRUTH and U should follow the BG on this too...
Those who don't eat non veg. Should replace their pointed teeth to flat teeth.
Less intelligent people always want to imitate God and there activities without knowing the proper fact and reason behind the activities.
Like lord Shiva once consumed POISON. Can any ordinary human do this ,No. So we should not try to imitate God. But We should always follow the instructions given by them. God has given enough instructions through his word in BHAGAVAD Gita and other scripture. Where he instructed to offer him only four type of eatable things i.e. Leaf, Flower, Fruit and water and consume it. This is why, we should always try to follow God's instructions carefully rather than imitating his activity.
So what......and who gave you the list of God's diet......why don't you request your Hindu people to close now the restaurants which serves non veg......they will throw you in garbage....better be silent....
instead of looking at the fact and trying to know the TRUTH ,,, some cheddis are already blaming him blindly... when in fact intelligent will look for the truth.
Sita kidnapped When laxman was busy in hunting deer for their lunch. This story clearly tells about their love for meat.
Very well said. If entire hindus studies their scripture they will become non-vegetarian and stops idol worship without any delay.
